Without James Rodríguez, Bayern Munich drew 0-0 with Hertha Berlin

Bayern Munich did not go away from a 0-0 home draw against Hertha Berlin on Saturday, stopping a ten-game winning streak in the Bundesliga.Despite the announcement of Jupp Heynckes that he planned to dose the rotations, Bayern had five changes in the starting lineup with respect to the team that started last Tuesday in a 5-0 win against Besiktas.In defense, Rafinha and Nicklas Süle entered by Joshua Kimmich and Jerome Boateng. In the midfield Thiago Alcántara took the position of Arturo Vidal and later Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery were the starters in place of James Rodríguez and Kingsley Coman.The leader of the Bundesliga had the ball from the beginning but Hertha managed to close the spaces well, with three closed defensive lines that made it difficult for the Bavarians to combine. Bayern had arrivals.The clearest came in the 36th minute when Ribery, just before the goal Rune Jarstein to pass Robben, shot over the goal. However, the party lacked dynamic from the Bavarian club, which did not put enough intensity to the commitment and at no time was there the feeling that the goal could come at any time.

In the second half the tone of the game did not change and the arrivals at the door of Bayern remained sporadic. The changes -Coman by Ribery, Wagner by Müller and Vidal by Thiago- did not manage to change the face of the game.Eintracht Frankfurt, meanwhile, lost the chance to advance provisionally to second place in the standings after falling 1-0 to Stuttgart, with a lone Thomy goal. With the victory the Stuttgart keeps moving away from the zone of the descent and the objective of the permanence seems more and more near.Freiburg scored an important point, also in the fight against relegation, by tying a home goal against Hoffenheim.Hoffenheim took the lead in the 57th minute with a Kramaric free-kick, but Freiburg leveled at 66 thanks to Niels Petersen. Borussia Mönchengladbach, on the other hand, managed a home win against Hannover 96 with a goal from Christoph Kramer in the 72nd minute.
